Now back to baby quilts although may make some masks with ties. Shockingly, even my husband is going to take a couple back home with him!
There will be random thoughts about dyeing, marbling and quilting. Hopefully there will be some information that is new to people. Nature is my inspiration and because of that, I reserve the right to publish lots and lots of pictures of animals, birds, butterflies and plants!

Baby Quilts and Masks!
Finished this one finally and am relatively pleased although probably won't do again!!
This was definitely a oops that I didn't notice until I had it sewn together and then I only fixed the problems one at a time as I only noticed one of the twisted four patches at first. I should have taken pictures as I went along but was trying to be efficient! I must say that it did give me an idea for a different arrangement!!
Fixed!
My daughter requested some masks as she has been doing our shopping and picking up of medicines etc. She specifically asked for "tie-dyed" ones. She used to mock all my dyed t-shirts but wears them almost exclusively these days!! I hadn't considered doing dyed ones but thought it was a great use of some of those "drop cloths" I had while doing ice dyeing. I also thought that the center of the kaleidoscopic ice dyed pieces would give them a "designer" look. She told me that after thee MIRS epidemic in China several years ago, designer face masks were all the rage. The funny thing is that I was rueing the fact that I had no flannel down here as I don't quilt with flannel so the first three masks were made using some leftover cotton batting which worked fine! However, as I was assembling the third one, it suddenly occurred to me that I had yards and yards of flannel in cream, white and gray solids as I used flannel as a foundation for my jackets. As I haven't done a jacket in a couple of years, just forgot about it. I made seven masks but daughter was off with two before I got them in the picture!
Now back to baby quilts although may make some masks with ties. Shockingly, even my husband is going to take a couple back home with him!
